[DESCRIPTION]

KAC-213 was the first recorded anomaly officially entered into KAC archives. The entity possessed a vaguely humanoid frame, elongated limbs, and no visible facial features except for a sunken mouth extending from ear to ear. Its form constantly shifted between physical and incorporeal, as though it existed partially within the subconscious realm.

Locals of ████ Village reported that for three consecutive weeks, children awoke screaming, claiming to see "a gray man" standing in the corner of their dreams — motionless, watching.

KAC-213 did not consume physical matter. Instead, it fed on REM cycles—specifically nightmares. Prolonged exposure to the entity resulted in:

- Sleep paralysis 

- Memory erosion 

- Emotional disconnect 

- Eventual death by complete REM and soul depletion

[INITIAL CONTAINMENT ATTEMPT]

Upon direct contact, KAC-213 showed no interest in waking humans unless threatened. Its true danger was discovered when Operative [REDACTED] successfully eliminated the entity using an improvised [REDACTED]. Three days later, Operative [REDACTED] was found deceased in their quarters—no physical injuries, no Aura, no soul.

Autopsy concluded KAC-213 had migrated into their subconscious mind prior to its "death." It devoured not only dreams, but the soul itself.

[FINAL NEUTRALIZATION]

A second operation was approved. Combatant [REDACTED], known for high psychological resistance, conducted the mission.

KAC-213 was lured into an artificially created pocket dimension using lucid-dreaming anchors. Once inside, the dimension was collapsed using a controlled implosion.

Entity confirmed terminated.

Risk of recurrence: Zero

[NOTES BY RESEARCHER 827]

"Dreams hold power. They shape us, perhaps more than waking life. To watch something feed on that — on what makes us human — was and is terrifying.

I am certain KAC-213 was not unique. Only the first of many soon to come."
